The copper hair trend is back, but this year, it's had a rebrand. Say hello to "cowboy copper" hair.

Not only that, but I asked Vickery exactly how to make this color work for each of us, as we know that when it comes to beauty and hair trends, it's not a one-size-fits-all approach.

What Is the Cowboy Copper Hair Trend?

First things first, what on earth is "cowboy" copper? "This hair color is the fusion of leather tones [hence, 'cowboy'] with classic redhead shades," explains Vickery. "Coined 'cowboy copper', this shade delves slightly deeper into brunette undertones whilst being infused with the richness of deep copper accents. This stands in contrast to the conventional golden hues, resembling a harmonious blend of brunette and redhead aesthetics."

How to Make the Trend Work for Your Skin Tone

Does cowboy copper work for everyone? For those with darker skin tones, Vickery says that this color trend is a highly complementary option. "Its subdued vibrancy embraces a luscious, buttery caramel tone, steering clear of orange or peach hues, resulting in a captivating effect on deeper skin tones," she says.

I love how these lighter, caramel colors that frame the face shine in the sunlight.

This hair has a glossy finish that helps to bring out the brunette and copper tones.

"If you have olive skin, you'll find a sweet spot with richer, golden-red caramel tones," says Vickery. This color is reminiscent of an auburn shade.

Auburn-colored hair can look so good with pink, orange and red tones in your clothes and accessories.

Have you ever seen such an incredible head of hair? The blend of golden-red and caramel tones is just beautiful.

Vickery says that individuals with fairer skin tones are better suited to a more classic copper shade. "This variation harmonizes with their complexion, brightening light-colored eyes while giving a radiant glow to the skin."
